Abstract

Background and Objectives:Laryngeal hyperkinetic movements of stuttering patients is similar to that of adductor spasmodic dysphonia. There has been studies on implementing botulinium toxin injections to treat stuttering. However, the opinions on the bouolinium toxin injection's effects on stuttering patients vary. In this study authors aim to figure out when the botulinium toxin injection improves stuttering patients. Materials and Methods:Stuttering patients who could receive botulinium toxin injection participated in this study. Age differences, gender differences, electroglottogrphic test, aerodynamic test in botulinium toxin injection treatment of stuttering were analyzed. Results:The botulinium toxin injection had statistically significant impact on patients who showed low mean air flow rate during aerodynamic study. Conclusion:The botulinium toxin injection could reduce stuttering of patients with low mean air flow rate in aerodynamic study.
